Bishops have failed to teach the Catholic Faith

Dear Editor, Archbishop Michael Neary’s sermon (IC 13/11/2014) that we are seeing the death rattle of the Church in Ireland is incorrect. The Church is the Body of Christ and so will never die. His sermon is one of despair, and despair comes from Satan.

Our bishops as successors of the apostles are our teachers of the Faith, but they have failed, as what they have allowed to be taught bears little resemblance to the true Faith. This has left their flock defenceless. So to speak of having lost the battle against secularism is erroneous as there was no real battle.

As the proper teachings of Christ can overcome anything Satan can throw at us one wonders why we are not getting it.

Yours etc.,

David Kelly,
